Time-resolved photoelectron angular distributions as a map of rotational motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the application of photoelectron angular distributions as a probe of time-evolving rovibrational wavepackets. A physical picture is drawn of the mechanism through which rotation–vibration coupling mechanisms are reflected in the time-dependent photoionisation asymmetry parameters. The effects of complicating features that may obscure the interpretation of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies, including the field intensity and the inherent complexity of ionisation processes are examined. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملRotationally resolved photoelectron angular distributions in resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization of NO
We report calculated ionic rotational branching ratios and associated photoelectron angular distributions for ( 1 + 1') resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization ( REMPI) via the R 21 (20.5), P21 + Q11 (25.5), and P 11 (22.5) branches of theA 2 :I+(3so-) state of NO. The branching ratios are dominated by even angular momentum transfer peaks, in agreement with the ll.N +I= odd (ll.N=.N +N;) sele...

We report the results of theoretical studies of the time-resolved femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy of quantum wavepackets through the conical intersection between the first two (2)A' states of NO(2). The Hamiltonian explicitly includes the pump-pulse interaction, the nonadiabatic coupling due to the conical intersection between the neutral states, and the probe interaction between the neu...

Photoelectron angular distributions in the laboratory frame (LF-PADs) from the A((2)sigma(+)) state of NO molecule were measured by femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging with (1 + 1(')) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization via the A state. High-precision measurements of the anisotropy parameters of LF-PADs were performed for the photoelectron kinetic energy from 0.03 to 1.05 eV a...
